A GTA Online player has managed to become a billionaire in the game after playing it continuously for almost a decade, and the community is celebrating the occasion. A Redditor named PsychologicalHat190 made a post on the Grand Theft Auto Online subreddit, sharing this feat. The individual had played the game for over 10 years and 11 months to become a billionaire.

Ever since the Grand Theft Auto VI trailer came out, the "we got X before GTA VI" meme has become a common trend where X can be almost anything. The meme originated in early 2023, with some notable examples being, "We got aliens before GTA 6" and "We have found a cure for cancer before GTA 6."

A user named Joe_Ma12 made the following comment in response to the OP using this meme's template:

"We got a legit GTA V billionaire before GTA VI."

This feat is definitely something to celebrate, as making $1 billion in-game without resorting to mod menus or glitches is quite difficult indeed. This is because you need to constantly spend money on things in the title, whether it's to buy a new property, a vehicle, or something else. It's also rather tempting to get a shiny new car or an extremely lucrative new business.

As "Southern_Newt_5961" pointed out, most fans wouldn't have been able to resist the temptation to spend in-game money on vehicles:

It should be noted that the OP took a screenshot of their in-game bank balance right at the 1 billion mark. As such, Capstorm0 couldn't help but wonder at how they'd managed to do this. The fan left a hilarious comment, saying that they imagined the OP spending hours purchasing soda cans so that the $1,000,000,000 number turned out perfect.

However, the OP revealed that they had done some simple calculations, which took them around five minutes. In response to this, Capstorm0 mentioned tipping the janitors, which is something you have to do 577 times to unlock the Epsilon Robes in Grand Theft Auto Online.

We got X "before GTA 6"

The Grand Theft Auto fan community has been making good use of the aforementioned popular meme phrase lately. We've got some fine examples of players saying, "before GTA 6," in reference to several different happenings. One such instance involves getting "reverse Grand Theft Auto V before Grand Theft Auto VI."

This is in reference to a hilarious video where Franklin and Chop have swapped skins during the mission Chop. Chilli D, the guy that Chop is sent after, has his model replaced with that of a cat.

Another example of this meme involves the rumors of a Red Dead Redemption PC port, where an X user says, "We're really getting Red Dead Redemption on PC before GTA VI."
